Delaware civil service test guides

The Delaware Department of Human Resources oversees the state merit system, with job listings on the Delaware Employment Link (DEL) portal.

Delaware state classified positions are governed by the merit system administered by the Department of Human Resources (DHR). Competitive selection uses written exams, structured interviews, or scored applications depending on the classification.

Job announcements and exam information are posted on the Delaware Employment Link portal. Each announcement identifies the selection method and lists subject areas for written exams.
